Watch the city breathe: at night people are in housing estates and suburbs, by day they move to the centre, office districts and industrial areas. Each frame is one hour of 18 October 2024.
Hours follow the timestamp in the source data. Values between full hours are interpolated.
The map shows how many people are present in each of 867 transport zones in and around Kraków, hour by hour. In “change vs average” mode each zone is compared with its own 24-hour average, so large and small zones become comparable and the rhythm of the city stands out: the morning outflow from housing estates, the daytime build-up in the centre and employment areas, the evening return.
The source is aggregated, anonymous data on user presence in the zones at hourly resolution for one working day (18 Oct 2024). The data cannot identify individuals — it only describes how many people are in a given area at a given time.
This picture helps plan public transport and peak-hour service, assess parking and service needs, prepare analyses for environmental decisions and talk with residents about how they actually use the city.
We combine data on where people are with traffic measurements and a network model — for your area, period and questions.
